The Dinner hosted by James Martin

One-day dinner train from London hosted by celebrity chef James Martin

Illustration of The Dinner hosted by James Martin

Belmond runs The Dinner hosted by James Martin, a one-day round-trip rail journey aboard the British Pullman departing from London. The train does not travel to another city; it is a round-trip through the countryside while a five-course tasting menu is served. The evening begins with a champagne reception as guests board, then celebrity chef James Martin's seasonal menu is delivered course by course in silver service by liveried stewards, each course paired with fine wines and champagne, with the changing countryside visible through the carriage's picture windows. Guests also receive an autographed book and the chance to meet James Martin in person. This suits food and wine enthusiasts and travelers seeking a single evening of guided, fully hosted fine dining rather than a multi-day trip, particularly those drawn to a celebrity chef's menu as the main event.
